I really love the way Tunisian crochet looks. Maybe you’ve heard it called “afghan crochet” but they are essentially the same – they use a long crochet hook and you pick up many stitches in one direction, then work them off the hook on your way back. These Tunisian crochet patterns that I’ve found…
